Minnissippi

When a Harvard-educated sister from Brooklyn moves to the Midwest, she encounters unspeakable evil that threatens to tear apart the city’s Black community. Carman uncovers an existential secret that forces choices no sister should have to make. Will she expose the truth, wherever it may lead, and in the process fracture a community and destroy her career?

This provocative novel takes you deep into the heart of a decomposing America, and unearths a conspiracy the ancestors will do anything to keep buried...

After four hundred years and counting, Minnissippi poses the question, “When will we be free?”

Author J Shulman also wrote and directed the NAACP Image Award nominated film JUSTICE, and received the Emancipation Filmmaker Award. "Blueprint," the sequel to Minnissippi, will be released in late 2014.
